what's a comfortable mouse? (preferablly optical)

[Noriaki]

I have a logitech mouseman wheel USB...and after playing diablo2 for the last 3-4 hours my wrist is killing me....

I was going to buy the MouseMan Wheel Optical next week but I imagine it's the exact same shap as this one so I don't want that..

What's a comfortable mouse?? I prefer optical and it has to have a wheel. 2 buttons is fine though...I don't need 8 buttons on my mouse, i use it for primary and secondary fire. everything else is on the KB.

optical. the explorer is a little too big for people with small hands

Go to Comp USA or Staples, or Office Depot and try them out first hand, that doesn't mean you have to buy them there though, since their prices are usually higher.

How about a trackman marble whell. I use it now because of the same problem as U. This way my hand is fixed while I use my thomb to move the cursor

The optical mouses don't work well in games, just so you know.

Logitech Wheel mouse optical.

Go to a major computer store that has lotsa mice. Try them and see what fits your hand the best and feels the most comfortable to you. What's good for someone else may be downright horrible for yourself.

what about the razor boomslang? For me its real comfy =) It set you back at least $100. Dun no if ya wanna spend dat, but they better den opticals.

Intellipoint with intellieye

i think the intellipoint optical/explorer are too big if u have small hands and if you wana move really quick (eg in a game of quake)

intellimouse explorer is awesome. Don't know if that other guy is smokin crack but this is a great all round mouse and works awesome in games. Very precise and smooth.
Look at any review and they all love it, most hardcore gamers use this mouse.
I have 6 mice sittin around and this explorer is the first i really like for gamin.
My 2 cents
Once i thought i was wrong !
I was mistakin!

This is a common myth. If your optical mouse has trouble when you move it fast, you need to try a different surface.

I like the Intellimouse Optical, but I don't know how well it treats your hands after a few hours of gameplay.

Edit: Concerning the surface - I just use smooth white table. No mouspad!

I'm using the Intellimouse Optical.. it's the Ambidextrous mouse from MS. it's also the smallest optical one they have.

 

[Quickfingerz]

Use a wrist pad. Don't rest your wrist on the mouse or the surface you are moving the wrist on.

 

[andrey]

Microsoft Intellimouse Optical definetely should feel right for you!

 

[prontospyder]

The Logitech Mouseman Wheel Optical is very comfortable and looks cool too..

Plus, you'll need a wrist rest as others have suggested...

Intellimouse Explorer

Intellimouse optical feels like its made for leftys or something.. maybe cause Im used to my Explorer.

And the mouse is fine for gaming. Unless your an ultra hardcore quaker.

 

[turf]

Yes, Yes!! Go with the Intellimouse Explorer, I use one, and I love it!!

 

[pen^2]
